Fruits of Anthroposophy

On-line since: 31st August, 2015

INTRODUCTION

These lectures give a fresh and exceptionally clear
approach to the anthroposophical path of knowledge. Imagination is
described as a widening of our experience of memory to cosmic dimensions;
Inspiration is described as an extension of forgetting; and Intuition is
shown to be the means by which the spiritual world bears fruit for the
future of human evolution. The description is particularly helpful in
distinguishing the right path from the wrong.

The lectures originally
formed the second half of a series of eight entitled
‘Anthroposophy: its roots in knowledge and its fruits in life;
with a description of agnosticism as the true enemy of
mankind’.
The roots are shown to lie in German culture, but full appreciation of
this requires a knowledge of that culture which those who do not read
German are unlikely to possess. The opportunity has therefore been taken
to reprint a very clear report of the first four lectures which was made
by Elisabeth Vreede, one of those chosen by Rudolf Steiner to be a member
of the original Vorstand of the Anthroposophical Society in 1923, and
translated by George Adams for the English journal
Anthroposophy in 1921 (Vol. l, pp.87–88 and 105–107).
